those running with the backing

Porter had asked for a

To the

Readers Disagree With Rupp Editorial

Editor of the Kernel:

If one word could describe the
editorial of Feb. 16, it would be
"irresponsible." I have no intention of taking sides in the dispute between Adolph Rupp and
Bob Tallent since what occurred
is a matter between them. The
Kernel has taken a personal incident between a coach and player,
blown it all out of proportion,
then tied it to the "evils" of big
time athletics.
The Kernel's answer to this, of
course, is that it has a right to
criticize an individual or group
that has strayed from the straight
and narrow path. It has forgotten,
however, that it has a responsibility to be fair.
There was no element of fairness in the editorial of Feb. 16.
Instead the Kernel cast fair play to
the wind and proceded to indulge
in an infantile tirade against Adolph
Hupp. He was portrayed as
unprofessional and
unethical." Quite a mouthful!
Perhaps these adjectives would
best describe the would-b- e
journalists who wrote the editorial.
It stems the motto of the Kernel
has become, "Print anything; it

y,

doesn't matter

if it is

true."

The Kernel stated that "there
is no place in the academic community for a man who wishes to
hide behind cliches rather than defend his actions." it would say
that there is no place in the academic community for a student
press that deals in generalities and
s
rather than objective
reporting.
However, it is a reassuring fact
that Adolph Hupp and his contributions to athletics and this
University will be remembered long
half-truth-

after the editors of the Kernel and
editorials are forgottheir two-b- it

Over Kernel's Head
Add to the subjects over

Ker-

nel editorial writers' head a list
which already includes AWS hours
and the Vietnam' war the Rupp-Tallecase. Why does the Kernel
assume that Coach Hupp is the
villain? Bob Tallent must have
said some scathing words to him
to bring on such punishment.
0
record is
This season's
as much of a team effort as last
season's 27-- 2 record. Why does
the Kernel assume that only Tallent is under pressure? He's only
No. 3. What about the first and
second leading scorers, or for that
matter, the whole squad?
Hupp deserves their respect because he is head coach and the
greatest coach of all time. But
even without NCAA titles and
Coach of the Year awards to back
him up, Hupp would still deserve
respect. Tallent was not revolting
against the system, as the Kernel
claims. He was insulting Hupp as
a person and as a figure in authorityand then has the nerve
to say that Hupp hates him because he's a "mountain boy"!
Tallent brought his troubles on
himself, and that includes losing
his scholarship. Even if he does
have a B average, he received
it primarily for basketball. He's
not playing, ergo he's being taken
for a free ride.
Almost as bad as dismissing
Tallent is Hupp's telling the Kernel
nt

12-1-

where to go, or so the paper would
have us believe. But the Kernel
should regard this as an invitation
to uphold the journalistic principle
of printing only the truth, and stop
making a martyr out of Tallent until
all the facts are in.

P.S. From a Kernel story about
the Tallent controversy: "

Will someone please print
the word CITE in big block letters
and use it to

uses "sight" for "cite" until he
gets the message?

Most Venomous Editorial
Of all the unnecessary, venomous indictments I have ever read,
your editorial on Coach Hupp was
the worst.
The worst reasoning. This was
purely a case of discipline which
is necessary in all coach-player,

chief-India-n,

leader-followe-

r

rela-

tionships. Discipline is necessary in
molding any team whether for the
basketball floor or the battleground.
A little discipline in the Kernel
offices would be in order.
The worst timing. Your implio
cation that the
showing of
the basketball team precipitated
the disciplinary action is disheartening at a time that support
should be rallying. Your implications that this type of action will
be prevelant in the fulure must
be a real shocker to the Freshman
team. But I am glad to know how
infallibly clairvoyant you consider
yourselves. Repeat, "yu consider
yourselves!"
so-s-

The worst recommendations. By
recommending the investigation
you tend to give credence to the
cry of the hysterical few. And you
border on hysteria yourselves. I
take consolation in the fact that,
"this, too, shall pass," and, perhaps, you shall graduate.
May you and the Courier-Journlive happily ever after.

View From Vietnam
have been selected to represent a group of former UK,UL,
Eastern and Western University
students in Saigon, Vietnam. We
are all avid UK fans. I am sorry
to say we were really taken back
by the article in the Kernel criticizing Coach Rupp for his reprimand of Tallent.
I would give anything right now
to be back home, to be able to
attend a UK game, win or lose,
than to be over here. Unfortunately, that won't be possible for
quite some time.
I have read where Tallent apologized to Coach Rupp for his behavior and we all over here hope
to be able to read the same about
The Kernel and The Courier-Journa- l.
If you have any pride in your
school or team or even yourselves
a retraction will be printed. Speaking for all of us, we hope to read
about it soon.

Controversy,
Comment On 'Has Rupp Choked?' Editorial
Rupp-Talle-

To the Eilitor of the Kernel:

mendous, so when a punk like Bob

There is apparently no doubt
that Coach Rupp was justified
in dismissing Bob Tallent from the
team. Rased on the report in the
Courier-JournaTallent's action at
Knoxville was such that if overlooked, a genuine team discipline

Tallent lips off to an adult with
nearly a half century of basket-

l,

problem might have arisen.
This, however, does not take
Coach Rupp off the hook so easily. Exactly why did Tallent get
fed up? If the newspaper report
was accurate he was goaded into
it by the "Sage of the South."
I, along with many other fans,
have heard some of the cruel statements made on the radio by Rupp
about Tallent. Tallent has made
a number of mistakes this year,
but is he the only one on the team
who has?
d
The
point is that
no matter how badly a boy plays
his coach has no right to publicly
ridicule him by calling him his
"error boy" and by saying that
he "doesn't seem to like the pressure." If a coach wishes to lower
himself to ridicule he could at
least do so only in private. A
general public statement that Bob
hadn't played well would have
